SEVENTH WONDER is looking for a NEW DRUMMER

========================================

We envision that any applicant is a drummer with a well enough developed technical proficiency to be able to play through just about any song from our back catalogue. This should also work in a live setting with a metronome in a reasonably relaxed and steady manner. You who apply for the position should have a passion for the music we create and the genre in which we are active. The ability and will to sing back-up vocals during live sets is a plus. The band is active in Stockholm and that is also where the studio is, -a fact to be considered by all applicants. Previous live show experience is a plus, a drum set of your own is a must.

To apply:

1) Record a video of reasonable quality of yourself playing two Seventh Wonder songs from Waiting In the Wings and/or Mercy Falls

2) Record a video of yourself playing anything else that you feel shows your drumming and your skills in a good way

3) Describe yourself, your musical background and activities, life situation and visions. You may either write this in the e-mail itself or in a file that you attach.

4) Send links to videos (for either download or streaming) and text according to bullet no3 above to: drummer@seventhwonder.nu

Best of luck to you, Johnny. You are one of the best percussionists I've ever heard, but I know SW will find a replacement that will make us all happy. Again, best wishes to you and the band. I'll always be a fan!

I'm lucky because I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with you, Johnny, during various gigs and I have great and funny memories of those moments. World is too small to prevent me from having some beers with you, as we had in Lillehammer right before the release of Mercy Falls.

this is a really sad news as JOHNNY is a great guy, a fantastic drummer. I ll never forget the unforgettable time we spent together. Especially when he performed all the drum parts of the cd while I was driving my car grande Johnny all the best to your life and to your bigger and bigger family

Johnny - I have 3 brothers and when we watch the SW live videos, we always keep our eyes on you... I mean as you command the band with your incredible pulse, how you play so powerful and your amazing fluency. We and my friends will miss you.

What happened to the drummers in the prog world? Do you think that we may witness the ultimate member swapping: Mike in SW and Johnny in DT? It would be a great relief to know that both will stay in the "family"! Let me please be right!!!

I disagree, though I'm the first to admit that it's a taste issue and you can't really argue about taste.

Brian has done a good job stepping into the void that Mike left and I think should be respected for the singer he is, rather than just being seen as a replacement for Mike. Besides, from what I've seen of the live material that's popped up of their first-ever live show in Tannersville, PA, Brian is doing a good job performing the old SG material as well.

Johnny, it must be real hard for you to leave SW, particularly after you guys really upped your stuff with The Great Escape. I just saw your video of Alley Cat, and my, was I blown over. What a great piece, what a great video !!!

Johnny, you're a terrific drummer, seemingly a great father, and you work fulltime, so it's understandable that you could'nt go on with that. It must have been terrible for you to make the decision to leave SW and tell the other guys.

What's extra sad is that, the way SW is rocketing these years, I foresee that the members will be able to soon make a living outta their music.

Good luck, Johnny, and SW, good luck with finding another great drummer, and I hope to hear a lot more great music from you guys.
